Our Michigan personal injury lawyers are reporting a rear end hit and run accident that took place on Wednesday, August 18th in the a.m. hours on Colonville Road. According to police, a vehicle rear-ended an Amish buggy and drove away after the accident. The Amish buggy held a woman and her four children, in which three of her children suffer injuries. Police are still searching for the driver who rear-ended the buggy.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope the injured children have a fast recovery without any permanent damage.
Our Michigan car accident lawyers advise victims of their legal rights. Since a buggy is considred a motor vehicle, the parents can can submit a claim for Michigan No-Fault insurance benefits for their injured children. No-Fault benefits will cover their medical expenses, lost wages, attendant care, replacement services, and other benefits related to injuries suffered in the accident. The injured person can claim these benefits even if they did not have a Michigan automobile insurance policy.
In addition, the accident injury victims may also have claims for personal injuries against the driver if found and determined to be at fault in this rear-end accident. The insurance company for the negligent driver typically pays a settlement for this type of case. In this lawsuit, the injured victims can claim damages and compensation for the injuries suffered in the accident.
